3. Stress/injury. Stress on the tissues or any type of injury in the mouth can cause canker sores. Since the sores are actually tiny ulcers, they can be caused by any kind of hard brushing or eating something that can cause bruises or lead to tissue inflammation in the mouth.
Canker sores, which occur on the inside of the mouth, can stem from an entirely different issue. Small white lesions on the inner lip or inside of the cheek are called aphthous ulcers. These may be caused by sources other than the herpes virus.
